NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcommons-compress-java package and not the libcommons-compress-java package as distributed by Ubuntu.
A specially crafted ZIP archive can be used to cause an infinite loop inside of Apache Commons Compress' extra field parser used by the ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream classes in versions 1.11 to 1.15. This can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' zip package.
